Format:Paperback
This is the first book I've read by Barbara Taylor Bradford. Since she's a bestselling author, i suppose she must have written some books that are better than thise one, because there's no chance that a publisher would ever have published this book if it was written by an unknown author.
If you read on the back of the book, it's supposedly about a woman whose life is "turned into turmoil and despair" after "an unexpected act of violence" and that she "must go back to her own past and confront a relationship that has only brought her heartbreak". This act of violence takes place about two thirds into the book. Before that, there's just a long, tedious buildup, where absolutely nothing happens. The actual story of the book is the last 100 pages or so, and if you haven't already given up on the book by then, even they are completely uninteresting.
The book is one of the most tedious books I've ever read and it should never have been published. Don't waste your time and money on it and don't encourage the author and publisher by wasting your money on it.

Exceptional Writing
20 Sep 2004
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I first fell in love with Barbara Taylor Bradford's work "A Woman of Substance." Then I proceeded to read everybook that came out and I was in awe. Power of a Woman is well written with the right mixture of Romance and Intelligence. To me "A Woman of Substance" was more powerful but BTB has shown that she is consistent and a great storyteller!
The Power Of Romance

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Barbara Taylor Bradford's fans will love this story about precious jewels and precious relationships!
Very Unimaginative--Time Waster
3 Jan 2001
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I was very disappointed with this book. The characters were not very well developed and I felt that the author spent more time describing the character's opulent surroundings rather than put any thought into the plot or the characters' personalities. I kept thinking it would get better but it didn't.
